*This is dedicated to someone that i should be calling my sister...I hate her more then anything in this world...She is 21 but acts like she is 16...She has a 2 and a half year old son who will always remember how she treated him...And the sad part with him is that he doesnt even call her mommy...He calls her by her first name...

You are someone,
that I despise.
All you know how to do,
is make up lies.

I look at you,
and only think of hate.
Death is the only thing,
I think is your fate.

Once they took him away,
I thought you would change the way you should.
But of course you didnt,
you became worse and did whatever you could.

One day your son's gonna realize,
that this is all true.
And he's never gonna forgive,
the things you used to do.

This is a great poem.  I'm sorry for your heartache though.  I know now you hate your sisters but things can always change.  I'm not saying that you ever have to forgive, just keep your heart open.  

One day your son's gonna ralize,
that this is all true.
And he's never gonna forgive,
the things you used to do.

the end of your poem is very well written and sadly true.  Sorry you have so much hate in your heart but 'tis understandable.
Best Regards,
IsGona

Erin, I know how you feel.  I am not too fond of my youngest sister.  I can only hope that you think of what is best for your nephew.  Your poem was very well written.  Keep your head up and if you ever need to talk email me.

You've expressed some very strong and emotional issues Erin. Without knowing the full scope of the issues, it's difficult to comment, however it appears you were/are very concerned about the health and welfare of the young child.  This is clearly everyone's priority and since they "took him away once" I assume that other's are helping to watch this situation closely.

Unfortunately, giving birth to a child does not automatically "make" someone a mother ... her actions, love and care define the essence of that mother/child bond.  I hope your sister is able to get some help for her problems, and that your family continues to provide love and support for her child. Keep your heart open, and hopefully with love and support ... in the future, these relationships can be re-built.

Best wishes and prayers Erin ...
/Kit

isgona~~~with the end of the poem...i wish is was just make believe but its not...hes gonna grow up and hate her and i dont blame him.

chel~~~its not that i am not fond of her...i cant stand her...and with my nephew thats the only reason my dad doesnt kick her out of our house...

kit~~~i understand what you are saying about her being a mother...but i dont understand why she doesnt try to change...his grandparents called DCFS on her and his father...he was taken away for awhile...then given back...they thought they would take care of him...well they didnt...the only reason that i dont leave is because he will not be taken care of...and i love him more then anything in the world...


thank you all for the replies...

Hey Erin, smack your sister in the mouth....that just might be exactly what she needs...Just smack her right in the lips, put your finger in her face and tell her exactly what is wrong with her and exactly what she needs to do about it.  I'd had to do that to friends of mine, but I wasn't quite so gentle when I did it...I've created better people care and are more compassionate, though.  I hope things get better with all this.

Great poem,
I'm sorry to hear of this family tragedy,
sometimes life is like that, I think one day you're sister will grow out of it, and get her life together. All the black sheep in my family did. (believe me there's a lot of them) You're a great writer, I wish you would post more often.

This was a very personal poem, but I am very glad you posted it.  I must agree with with Kit that giving birth to a child does not make a mother.  I am a 19 year old mother of an eight month old child.  But I put my child before any of my needs or wants.  I know how hard it is taking care of a child as well as myself.  I see how angry you are at your sister and I too feel some anger.  I hope that things get better for your sister.  I think that by showing her you love her and her son and by talking to her about how you feel, she might change a bit.  Maybe not overnight, but it couldn't hurt.  Don't hate her for her actions.  Having a child at a young age is hard, but it is no excuse.  That child deserves love and caring parents.  Maybe all she needs is love and someone to be there for her too.  I wish the best for your situation and hope that things get better.

Erin,
Very ... I don't know what to say. I loved this piece. I'm sorry your sister is like this. It must be very hard to see someone throw everything away like that. Irresponsibility is one of the most aggrevating things in the world to me. I hope things do get better and that she wakes up.
